When purchasing new protective equipment, especially a hockey helmet, it is vital to find the right fit. Without the proper fit, even the most technologically advanced helmet will not be effective. But finding the model and size that fits your head correctly will ensure the protective features will be able to do their job. If you’re unsure which helmet fits you best, or you’re looking for an accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey store.

To enhance the fit of the Re-Akt 150, Bauer includes their Freeform Adjustment System. This technology provides three tool-free adjustments to independently alter the length and width of the helmet for a personalized fit. With over 18 millimeters of available width adjustment, this model provides an excellent range of size dimensions to ensure you always have the proper fit and level of comfort.

Inside the helmet, Bauer includes many features to enhance comfort and protection. The first is the Comfort Pod liner. This brand new liner system uses a contoured design to better fit your head. This hinged pod design also includes a layered construction of both XRD and IX foams for added comfort and increased protection. XRD technology is a reactive foam that protects against both high-velocity and low-velocity impacts, while the IX foam is a low density material that offers more lightweight protection.

Bauer also includes their trusted VTX technology in the Re-Akt 150 model. This proprietary foam liner system is used in the front, top, and rear of the helmet to increase protection and comfort in these key impact areas. The VTX is a lightweight foam liner for all-around impact resistance, providing protection against a variety of impact energy levels.

The hockey helmet is arguably the most important piece of equipment in terms of safety. Experts state that concussions are mainly due to acceleration or deceleration of the brain. While helmets may not prevent concussions caused by these forces, they are crucial to limiting injuries of all kinds on the ice. Because of this, Bauer includes their high-end protective features in the Re-Akt 150 to help keep you comfortable and protected while you play.

With a sleek design and lightweight construction, the Re-Akt 150 offers you the look and feel you want. And with Bauer’s focus on creating an optimal fit, high-level comfort, and excellent protection, this helmet provides you with the technologies you need. While this model is designed for the elite player who skates 4-5+ times per week, any player can benefit from all the top-level features the Re-Akt 150 has to offer.

Would be 5 stars, but took one off for the priceThis helmet is very comfortable and I love that you can adjust the width and the length. The fit is snug, but does not feel tight and feels more like a ball cap on your head than a helmet. My big complaint is the price (but that seems to be hockey gear in general) as it seems the last few models really jumped in price. I also found it a little more difficult to get the standard bauer half shield on it as well. It just didnt seem to fit right. I took it off my Re-Akt 100, and didnt have the same issue mounting it there. Once I did get it on, it was a comfortable fit and feels like it is very protective and very light.

Great protectionMajor upgrade for both my kids, and liked it so much I got myself one as well! Love the safe padding, and fit is super with adjustable side/width as well as front to back.
Two days after buying my son (11yr old) fell backwards in a game, smacking his head hard. We believe this helmet made the difference when he was just assessed as having a “bump” vs concussion by the doctor.
Only flaw is a pad on back behind the ear area that puts a little too much pressure there and causes a bit of discomfort, however opening the side/width adjustment 1 click seems to alleviate that issue

Solid helmet. Definitely considerGreat helmet - sleek look. The adjustability they claim isn’t as all that much more than any other Bauer helmet. It’s sort of pointless to read helmet reviews though - you need to try on helmets and just pick the one that fits your head the best. My only complaint is that when wearing this, I have a lot of sweat come down my forehead. Your mileage may vary - but I think the foams aren’t absorbing sweat as well as they absorb impact. Great helmet

Used 2x, like so far, sharp edges on chinstrap tabSo far so good, have only used twice and I like the adjustability. The taps for the chin strap that attach to the sides of the helmet however are sharp plastic and actually cuts my fingers if I happen to unstrap while on the bench, especially if I’m hurrying to wipe some sweat or my hybrid cage visor. I will have to grind them smooth with a tool or swap out for my old ones, although I feel Bauer could easily have remedied this from production.

Great protection, not amazing comfort weird adjustI bought this helmet 4 weeks ago and have used it 3 times a week since. The helmet is very secure and tight as I like it but adjusting the helmet itself was a little odd. The comfort is not great but I am willing to sacrifice that for the safety of my head. The helmet is super lightweight and is overall, a great buy. Happy I got it just wish it was more comfortable.

Best female teenager helmet for fit and functionHave always had good helmets but when I turned 13 and was playing more often with lots of impact I needed the best and after trying numerous helmets and masks on this was the best all around — the store personnel were excellent and patient with me as I read specs and tried on everything!!! Best store with the best gear

Lightweight and Great QualityI needed a new helmet and wanted to upgrade without breaking the bank. This helmet is great! Very light weight, and once fitted properly feels like you are barely wearing anything at all. To that point though I do feel more protected with the technology and construction.

How do you attach a cage or full face shield? There&rsquo;s no clips like any other helmets to attach the straps?

Asked by: GKplaya

Thankfully putting a cage or visor on the ReAKT 150 helmet is no different than any other. The non combo doesn't come with the cage hardware but your replacement cage/shield(if you bought one) would have the hardware needed to attach it to the helmet. You can also reuse your hardware from your current helmet if you plan to move that cage/sheild onto your new helmet.
Thanks!
